Who We Are
St. Matthew's is a growing congregation in the heart of Bergen County, a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark in the Episcopal Church USA and the world-wide Anglican Communion.
Within the pages of our website you will find news about parish activities, Sunday sermons for children and adults, photos of people and places, and much more.
We worship at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday with a celebration of Holy Communion. Please join us! You will be welcomed!
We have identified five priorities for our parish:
Welcoming New Members
Activities for Young Families
Inspiring Worship
Lively and Engaging Fellowship
Meaningful Outreach
We invite you to browse these pages to see how these priorities are made real. But to get to know us a little better we invite you to join us for worship anytime. We warmly welcome all newcomers and visitors!
St. Matthew’s Paramus and St. Martin’s Maywood have entered into a joint ministry. Father Rubén Jurado is the Priest in Charge of both congregations. We worship together weekly, with Father Jurado celebrating the Eucharist every Sunday; the first and third Sundays in Paramus at St. Matthew’s and the second and fourth Sundays in Maywood at St. Martin’s. Our shared coffee hours are fellowship times where our congregants enjoy planning activities together and becoming friends.
The Sunday bulletin now features both churches and includes news and activities happening at both locations.
Stay tuned for new and exciting congregational activities that will happen now that we have Father Jurado as our spiritual leader. He is available for pastoral care, weddings, funerals, confirmations, and of course, it has been a blessing listening to his sermons.
May God bless us all as we continue our spiritual journey with our new friends in Maywood with the guidance of Father Rubén Jurado.
